Meet and Greet service: September 2024

Overview

The service is offered to all new international students.

Coaches will take students from Manchester Airport to the University campus area in Sheffield. There will be two coach departures from Manchester Airport each day, at 11am and 3pm.  

When allocating your coach time we allow two hours for collection of baggage and clearing immigration, so we are unable to accept bookings for students whose flights are scheduled to arrive in Manchester after 1pm local time. 

You can find information on how to travel from Manchester Airport to Sheffield independently on our web page here.

What will happen on the day

Students will be met at Manchester Airport and accompanied to Sheffield by members of our student Global Campus Ambassador team.

When booking the service, you will be asked for details of your accommodation in Sheffield. Where possible, we will take you to your residence or nearby.

Booking the service

Cost

The cost of the service is £25 for students and £30 for any family members or friends who may be accompanying you. You will need to make a separate booking for each person accompanying you.

We will do our best to accommodate all reasonable luggage requests. If you're bringing more than two pieces of luggage, contact us at globalcampus@sheffield.ac.uk.
